last monday march 28th, the governor did issue an executive order directing the state water board to adopt emergency regulations by may 25th that will impact san francisco and our customers in two areas. one requires urban water suppliers to submit a draft assessment and shortage report to the state by june 1st. this is actually not very onerous. because a final report is due july 1st. sharing a draft with them a month early is not a big deal. i think that's a need for the state to try to feel like it's got a better handle on the overall picture going forward. the second item would require urban water suppliers to implement level two shortage response actions. up to 20% shortage. we're currently at level one where we're having 10% reduction. if we were to move to level two, level two actually ranges from 11% to 20%. right now i think we're going to be challenged meeting 10% system wide. that's partly because san francisco has a residential water use of 42 gallons per person per day and wholesale customers has an average residential water use 63 gallons per person a day. these are well

already shows that california is in severe drought conditions and governor newsome now once the state water board to declare a stage to drought emergency anticipating there could be 10 to 20% shortage. in water supplies. jenna thank you. now let's go to meteorologist reporter gonzalez with look at just how much rain we got today. roberta and julie . we didn't receive a lot of rain, but nonetheless, it does dampen that fire season in the short term, and is janet was mentioning. we've had the driest winters and recent history and go back 173 years and 1.13 inches. that's all we've had in the rain gauge, but we had a little bit of light rain earlier this week. and now today 13 1 hundreds of an inch. no it's not a lot, but we have more rain coming. today's system. it is out of here. now we have a little bit of a break in the activity of reprieve for our friday and behind it here. this is a pretty vigorous cold front that will be blasting through the bay area on saturday morning, while most of us sleeps. it will provide us with about 4/10 of an inch of rain in the city of san francisco, but wait there
